Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 10 Mar 1926

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 10 Mar only, at 06:14: Wed 10 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:34 Tue, before it (04:38–06:14).

Parama Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Dashami ended at 16:34 Tue, before it. Ekadashi ends at 13:54, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 27 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 9 Mar ran from sunset 18:32 Tue to sunrise 06:14, 11 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:32 to 06:14 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 16:17, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 326.2° + 273.9° = 600.1°, one full turn and 240.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 02:29 Thu, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 03:18, when the lead reached 306°; Balava runs until 13:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 12 Feb 14:20 Fri to 14 Mar 00:20 Sun the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 00:53 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna itself.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 14 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) here, and Phalguna (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 1925, 11:02 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 345.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1982; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1847.
